Cali educrats issue list of recommended "updated" books for grades 9-12; nothing written before 2016

The "education bureaucracy" in the "wokie" states is busy destroying kids, while in conservative states they still study the classics.

The woke bureaucrats at the California Department of Education have issued a list of recommended new books, recommended to state schools.  The list below is all they've issued; no list of recommended standard books or classics seems to be available.

The California bureaucrats' book list for grades 9 thru 12 contains NO books written before 2016 (no classics), but recommends books by Michelle Obama, racist Ibram Kendi, and black former talk-show host Trevor Noah. So all three by black authors.

The list for grades 9 thru 12 in Florida includes Crime & Punishment, Hamlet, Dante's Inferno, 1984 and Animal Farm. 

Wonder which group of students will be better prepared for life?
